Amidst controversies, Mirzapur makers plan to bring favourite character Divyenndu Sharma's Munna back in season 3

Mirzapur, the popular webseries on Amazon Prime Video, is in a bit of plan change. The plan was to drop Vikrant Massey’s character Bablu in Season 1 and Divyenndu Sharma’s character Munna in season 2. Things were going as per plot. Massey’s character quietly dropped out of the series in season 1 and no one missed him in season 2.

How? One  of the main actors from the series said, “I think Divyenndu would be back. I don’t know they will revive his character. But, the script writers will find a way. It happens all the time in soaps. Dead characters are brought back to life on popular demand. So why not in Mirzapur?”

Divyenndu’s sociopathic act in Mirzapur 2 is breaking the  internet. The very talented actor suddenly finds himself in the midst of an unexpected level of popularity. On the large screen, we have seen him play scenestealing second leads to Akshay Kumar in Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Shahid Kapoor in Batti Gul Meter Chalu. In both the cases, he was  superior to the  films’ official hero. It’s only now after Mirzapur that he has got the recognition he deserves.

Salman Khan to do two look look tests for Mahesh Manjrekar's Antim

Touted to be the biggest action drama in the making, the Hindi remake of Marathi film Mulshi Pattern starring Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma is set to roll this month. The film was earlier titled Guns Of North but now will be called Antim as it focuses on the face off between a gangster and a cop.

The two of them have been brainstorming for a while and have decided to do look tests this weekend. Salman Khan will sport both looks and eventually lock in the final look after it.

Ashley Rebello and Alvira Agnihotri will be styling Salman Khan. The film will see Aayush Sharma as the gangster. The mahurat of the film will be done at Mehboob Studios during Diwali following which a month long schedule will be commenced at ND Studios in Karjat.

Since it is now called Antim, it signifies the end of the evil. The film will have start-to-finish schedule at venues in Mumbai and Karjat.
